I'm not looking for any sympathy or anyone to agree with me about what happened at the Gordon hog tournament today but it just really chaps my butt. So, I thought I would share what actually happened today. We had a three man team and two of us showed up to weigh in with one big boar and had that side pot won. Our third did not come because of the Ice and we were disqualified . Now I know what the rules said but how is that ok and different than the  polygraph lady not showing up and SUPPOSLY because of the ice. Also, to top that off, if "rules are rules" than why was I allowed to pay my fees when I showed up for weigh in. I knew we weren't in the main pot because we had no stringer but, I gave the guy my word that I would pay and show up when I could very easily said the heck with I ain't coming. That makes me wonder how many other people he did the same thing with that we didn't know about and they didn't show up because they didn't have anything. At the end of the day though it is what it is and I can sleep comfortable knowing I did the right thing I would like to think that if the guys there knew that they might have thought about it a little differently. Maybe not though. Doesn't matter now just thought I would share this.

All bets off if no polygraph was there.
That's what you get though when you start putting money into competition people will do whatever to win.

It should have never went to a vote with the competitors about our disqualification. The guy running it should have decided what to do. We should have asked for our money back because a polygraph was Guaranteed and not given in hindsight now.

You know what's funny go back and look at the Gordon tournament thread from last year and you posted a comment on here about us acting like a bunch of little girls when we tried to share our experience with this group of crooks.

I guess you got too see for yourself  this year.

 Sounds like the people runnng the Gordon contest need to get their number 2 together. Why would he let others vote on that? Of course they will vote no to it if they are smart.
